Well, of course that's wrong.  We could also use some plain buffer with
`get-buffer-create' and `insert-file-contents' instead of
`find-file-noselect'.  But when using that,

  1. and setting buffer-file-name to the region file, I get queries
     about the region file changed, and if I really want to save it

  2. and not setting buffer-file-name to the region file and using
     `write-file' instead of `save-buffer', I get one new region buffer
     per changed region, e.g., _region_.tex, _region_<2>,
     _region_.tex<3>...
